The Great Cheap, Safe Fireworks Hunt

x-adam1234-x

This thread isn't very lively this year, is it?

Disappointed that lidl haven't stocked weco fireworks this year, the barrages they sold were really good value for money. Still, my firework habit still made me stop by and buy a few things from the TNT range.

Hope everyone has a good 5th. :beer:

Here's hoping, it's not something I like to see.

Lidl, you disappoint me.

I know it's a bit off but if you want a good value family selection for bonfire night, get to Galactic Fireworks and pick up one of these for £44.99, it's the Royal Party Traitors Box!

It's got 5xfountains (the two heralds need inserting in soft ground, the 2xhappiness and killer bees fountains don't as they have plastic feet), 4xsmall rockets (but no launcher-you'll need a suitable tube), 3xsmall starburst single shot roman candles with built in feet so no burying needed, 3xlarge star mines (place on a flat surface), 2xsmall 9 shot cakes, 2xmedium 16 shot cakes, a small crackling strip which you mount on a post with a nail (not supplied), 3xcolour changing pinwheels, a 100 shot coloured star barrage (with plastic foot so no burying, just insert the plastic foot into the bottom, place on a level surface, light and enjoy), a 100shot whistling missile cake, a 36shot whistling star cake, and 2xlarge starburst single shot roman candles (with built in feet so no burying required). All are 8m under the new European Standard so back gardens rejoice, they're suitable for you!

fireworks have now been on sale in supermarkets for a few days now, has anyone found anything worth noting? I've only seen the Asda and Morrisons selections, the usual stuff as far as I can tell.

Really bugs me how ripped off we get here in the Republic of Ireland taking in the fact that they are illegal but still we have to pay a serious amount more...
